**D-Pixel**
D-Pixel is a 256 colour bitmap editor designed for editing pixel graphics. It is my own personal editor which I think other people will also enjoy using. It has many features not available in other 256 colour paint programs:
+ Easy to use and simple icon based interface
+ Resolution independent interface and canvas area
+ Smooth zooming and panning
+ A persistent Workspace which automatically saves settings and workspace images on exit, and then loads them back in on the next start of the program
+ Customisable right mouse button, and held left and right mouse button drawing options
+ Many different paint modes, some based on palette entry changes, and others on true colour effects mapped to the current palette
+ Built in 4 layer system for easy erasing of drawing actions
+ Multiple undo / redo system
+ Both full Circle / Ellipse drawing and optional section drawing
+ Tile mapping mode for automatic changes to duplicate tiles

**29th November 2015 - D-Pixel version 0.953 released**
+ Added palette swatches when over a tile in the tilemap window, or when the mouse cursor is over a tile in the canvas
+ Status bar at the top now shows the tile number the mouse cursor is over in the canvas, as well as the total number of tiles
+ Selecting a tile from the tilemap window now changes the paint mode to the standard paint mode as well
+ Drawing over multiple tiles with one drawing action is now possible, the tiles are individually mapped to the other locations in the image
+ Added optional tile palette on/off button in the tilemap icon bar. This can be set to 2, 4, 8 or 16 colour tile palettes, and when enabled means that the same tile in different palette is not added to the tilepalette, changes to a tile are mapped while keeping the original colours, and full tiles are changed to a new palette if drawn on
+ Fixed error where holding down control for the eyedropper and moving off canvas left the mode enabled when control was released. This also stopped icons being clickable until the mouse cursor was moved back over the canvas
+ Added a little blue tint to some of the grey colours in the user interface
+ Fixed an issue where the fill tool would sometimes not work
+ Made loading and saving DPX images (and as a consequence the workspace images) much quicker
